Roland Ryan - Nightrider$ (Video)
Giving us the visual treatment to one of his fan-favorite records off his highly acclaimed album, “Las Palmas,” Roland Ryan links up with DavieeDavee to bring alive the sensational sounds of “NightRider$.” The record is for the lifers and the players, getting swallowed up by the city lights as they parade in the nighttime under the moon & stars for a journey taking them on a ride beyond the plains. Keeping it P while conversating in talks that are smooth like butter, it should be on a roll (get it?), Roland Ryan disguises a nightly ride to be something more than just that; it’s meant for us to find our high and feel something new in the presence, inspiration, or motivation that we need to continue chasing our dreams. We’ve all had our own experience of this type of clarity he discusses in the track, and we just find a theme song to enjoy in the moment of it.
Laced with production by JonahTurnMeUp, Roland Ryan gets to swinging for the fences like the ‘98 Yankees, delivering the illustrious rap matched with his laid back persona wishing for days to see more good than bad. Roland has become an ideal candidate for artists showcasing prominent wordplay & skillful storytelling. The way he paints a picture of his come-up, mentioning the streets where he roams and guides him, showcases they raised him over time. Roland works to find a way to make the visual look as fly as the record; it delivers Roland in a comfort space with a woman wrapped in his arm, seated in a classic whip with champagne in the other hand, admiring the dark sky with stars in it. The releases come with so much success that it gives you another reason to respect the content that Roland is pushing out, which only solidifies his future is looking brighter than ever.
Roland Ryan is having an impressive run with the accomplishment of his album; many listeners are hoping to see a follow-up project from him in the future, possibly even this year, but right now, we’ll let Roland bask in his current success before coming up with theories for future music. In the meantime, we recommend checking out his latest visual and sharing it on all social media avenues.
Words from Anthony: The Las Palmas representative is feeling ever so elegant in the visuals for the standout record from last year’s debut. Many recognize him from his brotherhood with Banco but with that album & records like this joint, he proved that even alone, he’s a force to be reckoned with. This that luxury lyricism, that fly exotic thug shit, that cruise control into the night shit. His raspy flow makes his bars all the more infectious as they seep deep into the psyche, especially that of your girl’s who may just be the next shorty booed up in the passenger seat of his classic whip. Roland does it strictly for the lifers & the players, nobody is as smooth as he is with the pimpology. It’s an instant classic to come out of one of our city’s flyest mainstays.
